AEB-L is really good. Strix is made with more advanced and expensive methoods, since the design orientation, a low carbide, strong matrix steel which is similar to AEB-L, it should be an upgrade. However, so far there is simply too little information about strix so I can’t say for sure.

Nice! You're one of the very few people dropping videos of this knife and I wonder why. Do you have any comparison between Ashi and Yoshikane gyutos? I know the differences between them like steel and spine but more about cutting performance. I am hesitating to pull a trigger on either because I don't want to buy them both :D Or is there any other knife around that budget that you would say is worth considering that performs great and looks a bit more 'special' than the clean Ashi? :P
@zimingtim44052 ай бұрын
for the laser category,at this price range,there are only two answers,takamura and ashi. if you wish to pay a little bit more,them go for shibata or kobayashi. For the Yoshikane,i would say they are in the workhorse category,so there is no way to compare with a laser in terms of performance.
